Fair call, this is something we do need to tidy up.<BR>

The release on sourceforge is the latest release we have.<BR>
There is no newer release. What I was pointing you at was the cvs<BR>
archives, where you can check out the files that will be the 1.2.0<BR>
release. But there is no newer tarball, apart from the nightly cvs<BR>
tarball that sourceforge makes automatically. Which isnt a release.<BR>
<BR>
Sorry If there was a misunderstanding. <BR>
